WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.519 Callaroga Shark Media been air. I'm Johnny Mack with your 2 00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:14.720 daily comedy news. Dave Chappelle is doing his hometown summer 3 00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:18.480 shows again. Dave Chappelle's Summer Camp is a summer tradition. 4 00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:21.960 It's back for its fifth year. He'll do three summer 5 00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:25.320 weekends at the Weird Pavilion weekend of July second to 6 00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:27.359 third and fifth, so no show on the fourth, and 7 00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:30.559 then August fourteen, fifteen sixteen, and August twenty one, twenty two, 8 00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:34.479 twenty three. The Hollywood Reporter put Chappelle and Moa. Mayer 9 00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:38.000 together for a conversation. Dave says, of Mo, we spent 10 00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:40.439 all the summer of twenty twenty together doing shows. The 11 00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:42.640 best comedians of the world flew in Ohio and we 12 00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:45.640 had a blast. Moe recalls it was so nerve wracking 13 00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:47.719 because everything was so unsettling. It was COVID, it was 14 00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:49.880 civil unrest, it was my own personal stuff, and every 15 00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:52.159 one of my writers was juggling things emotionally. He was 16 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:55.600 really overwhelming, But you, Dave, really saved my life. I'm 17 00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:57.200 sure that a lot of people fell that way because 18 00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:59.679 we weren't working. You gave us an outlet so the 19 00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.439 story here. Moe was invited to participate in Actors on Actors, 20 00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:08.040 and he suggested speaking with Dave Chappelle. Chappelle said, as 21 00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:10.400 you know, I notoriously don't like to do press, but 22 00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:12.640 I wouldn't have missed today because it's used. So Dave 23 00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.719 flew from Ohio to LA and said, there's an elephant 24 00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:17.439 in the room. You got a deal at Netflix to 25 00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:20.400 produce a show, and then Riser's starting production on season 26 00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:23.000 two October seventh happened, and this is something that you're 27 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:24.680 going to have to address artistically or not. And I 28 00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:26.680 was curious about what's the process of going through that. 29 00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:29.239 By some weird accident, you found yourself being a solo 30 00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:31.920 Palestinian voice at a very critical time in human history. 31 00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:34.599 Moe explained. I started writing season two in April of 32 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:37.040 twenty three. Then the writers Guild went on strike. We 33 00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:40.400 came back in October six days later. All hell breaks loose, 34 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:42.840 and particularly my writing room. Since the show centered around 35 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:45.760 a Palestinian family and impacted it significantly, it caused us 36 00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:47.280 to have a tremendous amount of debate in the writing 37 00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:52.159 room itself. Chappelle was curious where the pressure comes from family, friends, bosses, 38 00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:54.400 most said more so from the fans of the public 39 00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:56.760 said I'm the only guy that's Palestinian. It was a 40 00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:59.400 show that centered around the Palestinian family. The pressure around 41 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.519 that was a minute. There were so many phone calls 42 00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:04.680 and people pressuring me to speak right away. Literally October eighth, 43 00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:06.920 I noticed everybody was yelling at each other. No one 44 00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:08.719 was actually listening to one another. And I think it's 45 00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:11.199 really important to understand what's happening before you speak out. 46 00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:13.919 It's really necessary to know what you're talking about. I've 47 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.240 aween my art form as a refuge what it allows 48 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:18.680 me to be myself and express myself. Outside of that, 49 00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:21.360 it feels unnatural to me at the moment. I had 50 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:24.719 a long conversation there along those lines while we're solving 51 00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:26.840 a peace in the Middle East here on Daily Comedy News, 52 00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:29.840 THEO Vaughn has also addressed Palestine on his podcast. He 53 00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:33.280 called it a genocide. There's a clip going viral. It's 54 00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:36.360 from the May tenth episode of this past Weekend. In it, 55 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.400 THEO says, feels to me like it's a genocide that's 56 00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.520 happening while we're alive. You see all these photos of 57 00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.120 people just children, women, people body parts, just putting their 58 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.280 kids back together. I just can't believe we're watching that 59 00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:49.280 and that more isn't said about it. I didn't set 60 00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:51.360 out today to wait into any of this. As I 61 00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:53.319 put the show together and he could check the back catalog. 62 00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:57.159 Whoever the biggest comedian is, that's who gets the first story. 63 00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.479 So when I went into the Chappelle thing and saw 64 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:02.840 that THEO, who's pretty big and would have been in 65 00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:05.120 the three spot today, was on the same subject, I 66 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.960 put those two back to back. Had THEO spoken about 67 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.199 something else, the number two story would have been this 68 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:13.240 whole John Mullaney thing. Now, I had pointed out on 69 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.479 this show, I'm getting up on my soapbox and doing 70 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:18.240 the Hey, Johnny Mack told you I'm doing it. Hey, 71 00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.560 remember I told you this. Remember a couple of weeks ago, 72 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.280 Robbie pro the head of Netflix Comedy, was like, yeah, Mallenie, 73 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:25.800 yeah yeah, but like never said it was actually coming back. 74 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:29.680 Then last week Mulaney was on Mark Marion's podcast and 75 00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:33.360 you know, said we're working things out. Late Nighter poked 76 00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.439 at this. Robbie Pra told Late Nighter Robbie again is 77 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:39.080 head of Netflix comedy Every Wednesday for the last twelve 78 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:41.360 weeks has been my favorite Wednesday. I think John is 79 00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:45.240 absolutely brilliant. That's nice. My ex girlfriend from college has 80 00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:48.919 nice hair. That's it. She's nice hair. So Late Nighter 81 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.400 didn't accept that dodge and asked it, you know, are 82 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.520 we gonna get any more of this show? Robbie prot says, 83 00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:56.599 I have nothing to elaborate on at this time, which 84 00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.919 is not yeah, we're working on season two right now, 85 00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:02.919 or yeah, twelve more episodes come out October twenty fourth, 86 00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:05.599 or yeah, we're working it out. John's touring this summer, 87 00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:07.439 which is trying to figure out the dates. You could 88 00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:09.879 have said any of that, but Prau said quote, I 89 00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:12.879 have nothing to elaborate on at this time. Prau also 90 00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:17.360 points out mulaney is an extremely, extremely busy man. It 91 00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:20.800 sounds like everybody has figured out that that show didn't 92 00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:23.639 work my opinion, and they're laying the groundwork to everyone 93 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:26.199 to get out gracefully. I could see a future in 94 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.399 which it's like, you know, working with John was great, 95 00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:30.759 but yeah, you know, he's got this sixteen month tour 96 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:32.759 coming up, but he's got two young children and he's 97 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.040 in a lot of demand and he might host some 98 00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:37.160 awards show how about you know, we love him here 99 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:39.160 at Netflix, and we always have the door open for 100 00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:41.600 an upcomings, you know, that kind of spin that's coming. 101 00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.120 What's incredible to me about John is how quickly we 102 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:45.759 saw the evolution of the show. To put on a 103 00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.079 program that feels different from Show one to Show twelve. 104 00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:49.839 In the old world of late night, that would be 105 00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:51.519 what two and a half weeks. I can't really envision 106 00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:53.959 who else could pull that off the way John did. Well, 107 00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:57.920 that's not really a fair comparison. You kick, pare twelve 108 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.040 weekday shows to twelve weeks. You have to comp we 109 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.839 are twelve weeks to twelve weeks, because if you're doing 110 00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:05.040 a daily show, like all right, we're done taving at 111 00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:06.639 six thirty and we have to get to work, and 112 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:08.800 we have twenty three hours to put out another show, 113 00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:11.519 not one hundred and sixty seven hours to put out 114 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.079 another show. So that's not a fair comparison at all. 115 00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:16.879 Robbie Prau, who I've worked with back at Just for Laughson, 116 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:19.120 is a good guy. More from pra Vi e Late 117 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:21.160 Night Er, which is a great website. I mean, we're 118 00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:23.079 calling it late night, but it's on streaming so it's 119 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.040 available all the time. So to me, it really seems 120 00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:26.839 like a hybrid. It's a talk show. Part of it 121 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:29.319 feels snl E. No it doesn't. I mean he wrestled 122 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:32.000 fourteen year olds. That feels Andy KAUFMANI yes, he did 123 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.319 the hype bit the night Letterman was on. That felt lettermany. 124 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:36.439 Yes it did. The fact that he was out there 125 00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:39.040 doing these ten to twelve minute not topical monologues and 126 00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:41.120 that they're strong as they are is something mokes folks 127 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:43.680 don't understand the level of difference and specialness. You have 128 00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:46.759 to have to achieve that. Sure, but I will tell 129 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.439 you this, Give Jay Leno a week to come up 130 00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:51.560 with twelve minutes, he'll do it. But he did a 131 00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:54.079 show five days a week. And let's not pretend people 132 00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.720 don't have writers for us as The idea of producing 133 00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:59.519 the show live around the world wasn't necessarily a strategy 134 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:02.079 to differ the show. To be honest, I don't think 135 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:03.800 it's the thing that makes the show great personally. It's 136 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:05.600 certainly exciting that it's live in the moment, but it 137 00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:07.839 really stands out as a great variety hour either way, 138 00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:10.120 That's how a lot of our members engage with it. 139 00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:12.959 You may recall Jimmy Kimmel Live was called Jimmy Kimmel 140 00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:15.959 Live because Jimmy Kimmel was Stay It with Me Live. 141 00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:19.040 The Holly Reporter caught up with Seth Meyers, who somehow 142 00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:22.000 has been hosting Late Night for eleven years now without 143 00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:25.240 really having any impact on society. They were curious, Seth, 144 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:27.879 do you have a sense for what differentiates your show? 145 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.240 Seth says, One thing I love hearing as I'll come 146 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:33.160 backstage for first time guests and they'll say, everybody tells 147 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:36.120 me this will be really fun, and that's great. Defeedback, 148 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:37.720 I think is people like doing the show because they 149 00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:39.839 feel like it's a conversation. We don't ask some of them. 150 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:42.519 It's just come and talk. It's a loose, good vibe. 151 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:45.360 Host isn't in a suit. We have a nice green room. Well, 152 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:47.720 I mean, if that alone isn't a reason to watch 153 00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:50.279 the show, they have a nice green room, says The 154 00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:52.000 one thing I was most wrong about is I thought 155 00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:54.360 politicians would be more interesting. I think it's very interesting 156 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:56.600 to talk about politics. It's less interesting to talk to 157 00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:59.680 politicians and We've built a show where if the conversation's good, 158 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:03.279 it's good TV, and it almost doesn't matter who it's with. Honestly, 159 00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:04.800 I think it's better to have a good conversation with 160 00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:07.120 an author than a bad conversation with an A list star. 161 00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:09.600 But that said, is it if more value if you 162 00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.040 have a good conversation with George Clooney? Of course, But 163 00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:13.920 if we realize there's someone who's a giant star is 164 00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:15.720 maybe better at being a giant star than they are 165 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:17.920 being a talk show guest, that's great. We don't need 166 00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.399 to chase that person. In Carmel spoke to GQ about 167 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:22.720 his weight loss and said, you know what the big 168 00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:24.759 difference for me was, I joined a gym. I can 169 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:26.360 walk to the whole idea of getting in the car 170 00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:29.160 and finding parking and in LA often paying for parking. 171 00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:30.920 I took away as many hurdles as I could. There's 172 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:33.120 a gym that's like a twenty five minute walk for me. 173 00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:36.759 Perfect it's podcast time. Maybe he listens to this podcast. Hi, 174 00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:39.240 And I also drink so much water because the other 175 00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:40.879 thing I feel with cravings is you have to try 176 00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:43.199 telling them and know in as many ways as you 177 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:45.759 can throw whatever you can at them. I'm probably like 178 00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:47.959 a three to four apples a day guy. Doctors will 179 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:49.480 tell you to keep it to two, but listen, it's 180 00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:52.240 that or Lasagnas. I'm doing the apples and I love blueberries. 181 00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:54.920 For me, that's a top tier berry. I think it's 182 00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:57.199 the most consistently good. I don't think it's the best 183 00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:00.000 berry at its best, but it's the best berry on average. 184 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:03.959 Forgot to mention earlier. Seth's doing a lot of press 185 00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:06.800 and why I don't know why he's doing so much press. 186 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.040 Conan's doing a lot of press too. At Eliza Slessengers 187 00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:13.759 doing a lot of press. I've noticed that aproprobe nothing 188 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:17.040 just thought a chair doing comedy podcast and these things 189 00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:19.519 come to mind when I put the show together. At 190 00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:23.399 the ATX TV Festival in Austin, Brett Goldstein talked about 191 00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:27.560 his early collaboration with Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence. That was 192 00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:31.160 a project called spaced Out, also in that Donald Faison 193 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.200 from Scrubs. It was basically a space themed workplace sitcom. 194 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:37.720 Wheret Goldstein said, it was my second pilot season in 195 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:39.440 la I'd gone and done a pilot for HBO the 196 00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:41.360 year before. There was really good, but didn't get picked up, 197 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:42.879 and then it came back in an audition for Bill's 198 00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:45.039 new show. I love Bill because of Scrubs and I 199 00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:47.519 was excited to had Donald in it. The show was 200 00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:50.039 about a working class genius trying to integrate with a 201 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:53.480 team of scientists building a Mars rocket. Goldstein said it 202 00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:56.360 was basically Scrubs set in a rocket factory. We called 203 00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:01.080 it space Turk. Laurence said it was not called it 204 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:04.279 was canceled. Brett says, the thing that's awful about making TVs, 205 00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:06.559 we all felt on the set the pilot was really special. 206 00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:08.960 This is a thing so much that when Bill's producing partner, 207 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.000 Jeff said goodbye to me, because you do the pilot 208 00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:12.440 and then you start shooting the rest of the season 209 00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:14.039 in August, he said to me, see you in August. 210 00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:16.200 So I started packing out my house. I sold my 211 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:18.320 place in England, don't know. And then a month later 212 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:20.360 it's not happening. I was like, where do I live? Yeah, 213 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:22.519 I don't do that. That was a rookie mistake there, 214 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:25.960 brick Oldstein. Years later, Bill Lawrence calls him about this 215 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.120 show called ted Lasso. He called me completely out of 216 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:29.600 the blue, and he said, I'm gona do this football show. 217 00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:31.200 You want to come right on it? And I said no, 218 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:33.639 I've got a big stand up show booked. He said 219 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:35.519 it starts next week and I was like, but I've 220 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.000 got these stand up shows. Brett spoke to comedian Nish Kumar, 221 00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:42.399 who told him cancel the show. Cold Scene had another concern. 222 00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.200 He had developed a show, Soulmates for AMC. The Soulmates 223 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.679 got picked up and I was like, ef Bill Lawrence 224 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:50.519 said he was running Soulmates and we hired him as 225 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:52.240 a writer on Lasso. He didn't know he was also 226 00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:54.279 going to be Roy Kent, but that was all Brett. 227 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:56.360 We were writing. The party filmed an audition on his own. 228 00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:58.159 He sent it to us and he absolutely killed. Yeah, 229 00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:00.759 we've heard that story before where he just asked, Hey, 230 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:03.759 can I just be Roy Kent and they said yeah. 231 00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:05.559 That's how I started hosting the show on Live One. 232 00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:08.120 The weekly comedy thing, by the way, I should plug 233 00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:11.120 that new episodes every Monday, kind of like this, except 234 00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:13.919 I talk a lot less. But I can also play 235 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.559 comedy clips from comedians because of licensing and all that. 236 00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:19.519 So that's the weekly comedy thing on Live One. So 237 00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:22.279 when we were putting that show together, I was inspired 238 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:25.879 by Phil Collins from Genesis. I've gone sideways here, let 239 00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:29.159 me back you up. So Peter Gabriel, musician Peter Gabriel, 240 00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:31.440 you've heard of him. He was the original singer for 241 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:34.360 the band Genesis, and then he left and Genesis was 242 00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:36.440 looking for singers and they auditioned a bunch of people 243 00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:38.840 and then one day Phil Collins, who you've heard of, 244 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:40.960 said can I just do it? And they were like, yeah, sure. 245 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:44.279 So we were auditioning people for the weekly comedy thing 246 00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:47.000 and I was writing it, but no one was quite 247 00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:49.559 nailing the voice. And I eventually said can I do it? 248 00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:51.799 And I totally had Phil Collins stuck in my head 249 00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:54.080 for that, and they were like sure. So I started 250 00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.919 hosting that and then I had all these extra stories 251 00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:58.799 left over, and I'm like, I got to do something 252 00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:01.240 with these stories. So I created this podcast and here 253 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:03.879 we are, and like anything else in life, I've been 254 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:06.840 talking into a microphone almost every day for don eleven 255 00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:09.759 twelve years now, and you get better things. So thank 256 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:12.200 you for listening. I digress. But that was the end 257 00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:14.960 of the Brett Goldstein story. Oh, I definitely want to 258 00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:17.840 stop off at Gossip Corner before we Go. Page six 259 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:22.600 reported that Jeff Gorlan was scheduled to headline a comedy 260 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:26.320 dinner at the Calabasas Country Club in SoCal last week. However, 261 00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:30.519 he allegedly walked out after discovering he'd be paid by check. 262 00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:34.919 Gorlan was reportedly promised listen to this number eight hundred 263 00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.600 dollars in cash, and was unhappy to learn at the 264 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:40.159 venue intended to compensate him with a check instead. Let's 265 00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:42.360 just stop off there. So say you were on curb 266 00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:45.840 your enthusiasm for eleven years, You're going to headline a 267 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:48.600 comedy dinner. How much do you think you would get paid? 268 00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:54.519 Apparently the number is eight hundred dollars. Wow. An insider 269 00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:57.279 told the Post the crowd was ticked, most of them 270 00:11:57.320 --> 00:12:00.600 come to see Jeff. Approximately forty people at the show. 271 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:04.039 According to Calabasa's country club schedule, they frequently host events 272 00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:08.159 such as comedy nights and bingo. The Post says it's 273 00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:11.720 unclear why Garland walked out. A different source in form 274 00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:13.639 Page six that he likely didn't walk out due to 275 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.879 financial reasons. They said, Jeff can be a very neurotic guy. 276 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:19.519 You can get hung up on things, so who knows. 277 00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:22.080 I think I have it in my brain somewhere. I 278 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:25.440 feel like when I was at Serious XM, I feel 279 00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:28.679 like we were talking with Jeff about maybe perhaps doing 280 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:32.279 something I may have And again, I might just be 281 00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:34.600 making up this whole thing. I feel like I was 282 00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:37.720 on a call with Jeff and I haven't filed away 283 00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:40.200 in my brain that sometimes you jump on calls with 284 00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:42.919 people and you can tell people really want to do 285 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.440 something and then we'll figure out the money later. And 286 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:48.720 then sometimes you're on a call with someone and you 287 00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:50.919 feel like, oh, they think we have a lot of 288 00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:53.639 money because Howard Stern reportedly makes one hundred million dollars, 289 00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:55.440 so let me do a show on Sirius so I 290 00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:57.799 can make money. And it's more about the money than 291 00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:01.279 the idea. And I haven't filed away this conversation with 292 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:03.879 Garland that I might just be imagining, but I think 293 00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:08.039 it happened, if I'm remembering correctly. I think I left 294 00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:11.799 that call going, oh, this isn't column B, that this 295 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:14.159 is just like, hey, I heard this is the thing. 296 00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:17.679 When podcasting heated up a few years back, oh boy, 297 00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:19.080 a lot of people were out. Yeah, I'd like to 298 00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:20.480 do a podcast. All right, what do you want to do? 299 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:22.159 I don't know, whatever you guys think, And it was like, 300 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:25.360 you just want to be paid anyway. That's your comedy 301 00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:26.879 news for today, see tomorrow.
